Vaucluse recorded its strongest sale of the year on Thursday night when the palatial home of businessman Paul Ehrlich and his wife Lauren sold under the hammer for $10.1 million.

As reported by Title Deeds earlier this month, the non-waterfront residence on Towns Road was listed with hopes of more than $9 million. The sale, through Ray White Double Bay's Elliott Placks and Ashley Bierman, set a street record.

It tops the suburb's previous high for the year of $8.3 million set in March when Test captain Michael Clarke and his wife Kyly bought a five-bedroom house on Fitzwilliam Road, through Michael Pallier and James McCowan, of Sotheby's International.

The highest eastern suburbs sales this year have been in Bellevue Hill. Donnington Grange, the former home of Angela Fleming, widow of grocery tycoon Jim Fleming, sold for $19 million in March to Matthew Koder, Asia Pacific president at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and his wife Shanyan.
